This is the strangest thing I've seen.
Burned a DVD ROM of pics and videos on my laptop (Inspiron 9300)
running some form of DLA Software and it worked just fine. I can read
them just fine on my laptop.
Stick them into a vista machine and the disc reads but 1/2 the files
are gone and it's consistent - not a disc read error - There are no
videos - there are missing pictures...
It's as if the VISTA drivers are incomplete... anyone hear of this
symptomology and have a fix?
Thanks!

I'm sure the DLA system (Sonic) has alot to do with it - it's Dell's
"Beta" so there you go - What's odd is that it was made on a Dell
laptop and being read on a Dell media center w/vista w/the missing
files. The missing files are not a disc error, it's the way vista is
decoding the UDF structure of the burn which is all driver based which
is why I'm hoping there's some sort of known issue with Vista and it's
inability for it not to read directory structures properly.
Yes, I'm jumping to conclusions that it's a Vista problem cause 99 out
of 100 times, it is ;-)

You can burn both formats to the same DVD.

I'm unaware of any problems in this arena. What happened when you tried it
on another machine?
The nice thing about it being "a Vista problem" is that a kajillion users
use Vista, so when there are problems, there's always lots of helpful to
help identify those and get them fixed. I would expect that if there were
UDF parsing errors that Sonic or other interested party would have already
raised the issue with Microsoft, but that's just me.

hmmm.. perhaps I'm not making sense - the files (irrelevant to ntsc/pal)
are now in the folders. They're not being read in the directory location
of the disc. Works find on my laptop though - Vista is not reading the
TOC of the directory properly...

Only way to do that is on a machine that it works on.
then get the properties.
You might be able to get properties from the machine it won't work on, =
but I
think you'll most likely get errors or gobbledygook, best guess by a =
machine.
I use Vista HP, on a desktop. If the 1st file is PAL, it craps the search
facility for the ENTIRE DVD. You can't get a directory if the 1st file is=
PAL.
Also what program on the laptop reads the DVD ?, copy it to the other =
machine,
and use it with Vista.
IE: Some DVD's I used to think would ONLY run from the desktop, and not =
on the
TV/DVD player.
Because that player doesn't do PAL. Nero handles most anything.
I traced the problem to my DVD writing software.
I had the ADD original files to DVD if possible, not if it's in PAL =
format it
isn't possible.
I had TV format automatic. Doesn't work if you have PAL or NTSC =
equipment. I
forced it to NTSC.
But I have no idea what the EXACT problem on your end is. I'm just =
throwing out
possible sources of problems.
